PETE HEGSETH: This is very heartening for guys like me and others in the service who look at the previous administration whether it was the trading terrorists to get a deserter in Bowe Bergdahl, who basically got a slap on the wrist, a pardon of Bradley Manning. I mean you had a culture of coddling and not defending the war fighter. Trump’s done a total 180 on this, it’s amazing.

JEDEDIAH BILA: Yeah, and I think this will be a very unifying force in favor of what he’s doing. I mean, if there is one thing that unites people around the country, it is a love of our military and a love for those who have served.
